It's sad to see just how far the PI has fallen :-( It started out as a nice embeddable simple SoC and now it's this monstrosity that needs active cooling or hideous looking passive cooling.

It doesn't 'need' active cooling.
The only reason to cool it is if you're playing games or doing some heavy crunching, or want to overclock.

Raspberry Pi still sell the entire range (barring the very first Pi 1 with 28pin header), at mostly the original prices, so you can still buy nice simple embedded SoC based devices that need no cooling. So distance fallen = 0mm. If you want lots of performance, you get lots of heat, that is a tradeoff that has to be made, and that is the Pi5. Distance raised > 0mm.

...So why buy it then? If they manufactured it and you cripple it ... why bother? Gee ... I can run it at half speed and it won't burn up ... great. I just think that the N95 and N100 exist and are much better at doing the "desktop" replacement than the pi is ... and it doesn't need to emulate x86.

How many tdp that pi have? Intel uses a piece of cooper on 7 tdp cpu lol

"The cutout for the micro SD card is reassuringly chamfered to keep the sharp edges at bay"
That is a fillet, not a chamfer. A fillet is a rounded corner or edge, while a chamfer is an angled edge where two surfaces meet

Anyone know if this will accommodate one of the SSD HATs?
